How we came to know that it is tensile or compressive by Lami's theorem?

It is By Lami theorem.

By lamis theorem W/sin60 = BC/sin90 so BC equals to +2W/√3 (tensile).

Or

By resolving BC vertically and applying the equilibrium equation in the vertical direction we get
BCsin60 - W = 0.
BC= +2W/√3 (tensile).

By lami theorem, w/sin60 = BC/sin90.

Therefore BC= 2W/ROOT3.

Given angle at B is 60 and weight W is acting downwards which experiences tension. So a\c to Lami formula W/sin60 gives 2W/root3 on simplification.

Apply Law of Sine and get the answer.

Harsh said:   9 years ago
BC is compressive right but CB is?

See here When you resolve force at point B,
then you get,

IF we get the force at away from B.
x=BC cos60=0.
y=BC sin60-w=0.

BC=2*W/3.

HERE YOU GET YOUR ANSWER TENSILE.
